Abstract

If you have ever tried to drag a small child through a toy department, while trying to catch a train, you will have some feeling for the troubles of the Production Control Manager. He is faced with a never ending stream of unexpected troubles, all of which tend to keep him from making good his schedule. Development of ingenious methods to solve this problem has helped some, but in many cases, both the problem and ulcers remain.
